Speed of NOS & 28.8k Modem

Having tried using three types of 28.8k modems - SupraFAX, Motorola 3400 and
Courier Sportster Vi - I've been somewhat disappointed by the little
difference they've show from the SupraFAX 14.4k modem I've been using before.

I have taken my own advice and read Demon's Tuning.faq and Modem.txt to alter
the settings in NOS and on the modem, but I'm still getting less than 3000cps
for plain text with slightly higher figures for binaries (which I was surprised
about). Whereas with the 14.4k modem I was getting 1700-1900cps binaries with
1900-2300cps for text and news.)

If anyone has any suggestions or comments that can help me, I would be most 
grateful.

My set-up: Falcon030 4/65+85, TOS 4.04, fpatch2.prg, HSModem6 (drvin & scc set
to AtariWorld October 1995), CPX and NOS set to 134 baud (150 seems to be
roughly the same) and mru/mss set to 1500/1460 (again, I've tried 576/536 - and
it's about the same). The modem responds with 28800 connect rate, 57600 computer
rate with L-APM protocol and v42bis compression)

Regards,
Andrew
